He's the best player I've ever seen. There are other players that are greater in terms of accolades and championships but his peak is as great as anybody I've ever seen.
@@Young-ep8ik No. it is up there with the best players in terms of efficiency-Kobe was not-but 2 reasons why it cannot be above the best before: 1) Wilt & Kareem had the highest meaningful numbers of total offensive production. Win Shares is one advanced stat that reflects this: but Mikan is also #3 al time! Which accentuates the issue that te overall quality of the league being lower allowed a higher peak. you did not mention Jordan & LeBron, who would be just below them. 2) But nobody in the last roughly decade of "load management" will put up the same peak due to not playing nearly as many minutes! This is both not Joker's fault, but he & others do not have the opportunity to show what level they can maintain for near 3000, let alone 3200, or 3500 minutes! It would be wrong to not credit the best past players, without the training & other advantages of the most recent times, with actually putting up somewhat more playing time & numbers of total contributions. But ambiguous precisely how to compare & rate the likes of Jokic to them. But he clearly is way up there, & when the league is better than ever... No doubt was the best player in the world each of the last 4 years-& thus far this season. 😎😎

@@bdleo300 but also many roleplayers in the NBA deserve better stars on their team, some get to play with Jokic while others have to watch Harden dribble dribble dribble into a stepback for 48 minutes a night.
Jokic is on his fifth straight year of being the best player in the world. You have to go back to 2019 to find a season where wasn't the clear-cut MVP of the league. He should be winning his fifth straight award, but we all know why he's didn't win in 2023 and why they won't want to give it to him this season. He will easily be the best player of this decade when it's all said and done, and a Top 5 player of all-time. Only question will be how close he gets to the GOAT spot.
okay lets not get too ahead of ourselves. He's like top 18-20 all time right now, and he could potentially crack into the top 13-14 if he gets another mvp. No way he's getting into the top 5 unless voter fatigue stops existing.
Completely agree! For him to be considered a GOAT it would take more titles, maybe he gets that over the years but it would be very difficult considering that he never had a reliable 2nd option in Murray and I think he needs that in order to win multiple NBA titles. Its crazy to think that he is yet to play with a legit current All Star player
@@tihomirtika4686Which is why, if Jokic keeps this production up and gets a 4th MVP, he does have a top 10 argument. He carried a team with no Allstars to the championship. All other top 10 players needed help, Jokic runs the offense by himself. His only argument against him is his average defensive play.
@@suhaasvemuri7980his first 2 MVPs are rigged is in a below seed and still won the award if the NBA is still obey they past rules about the MVP is only a top 3-1 only jokic gonna still got 2 only right now if this happened before lebron should get 6-8 MVPs right now but the media never let that happened aswell as Luka should have atleast one or two MVPs right now considering he's enormous stats last year! NBA is a dumb at voting right now
christian braun is also a huge part why they're playing well. he's over doubled his PPG from last season, increased his 2 percentage and 3 percentage too. he's been a great KCP replacement.
hes a better player than kcp rn (whos having a down year on a magic team that really needs franzs shot to return so kcp doesnt carry so much of their perimeter burden) but he isnt a better spacer than kcp, braun thrives because hes able to catch and cut very fast and draw contact effectively the nuggets still are in spacing hell
I love Malone, but he was reluctant to play the young guys much. And this has been overturned by the KCP departure and the Murray-Gordon injuries, and I think all this may turn out to be good in the long run. With excellent play from Braun and some good from Watson and Strawther, should be an embarrassment of riches when the injured guys come back. That’s if nobody pouts if their minutes and touches go down a bit (Aaron won’t pout, Jamal might)
Murray doesn't qualify? He should have been an All-Star the last 2 seasons. No idea why he was snubbed. I guess they figure it's too easy when you play with the Joker.
@@alanzimmerman1674 Murray doesn't qualify. All star is february, voting is december january, if you remember Jamaal wasn't really good at the start 2022-23 season, he was coming back from the ACL injury, he was good in the play offs. 2023-2024 he wasn't really good during regular season also, so no, he didn't get to be all star, guard competition in the west is so strong
The only thing that stopped Jokic from beating Team USA in the Olympics with nothing but Bogan Bogdanovic and a bunch of other players most people have never heard of was Steph Curry going nuclear at the end of that game and Joker having an off night from behind the arc. I don't what else this man needs to do to convince people he is among the absolute best to ever do this.
Our (Serbian) players going 0/9 from 3pt range in the 4th and not enough respect from referees, especially that Panaman fraud cost Jokic and team Serbia of the biggest upset ever in the Olympics basketball. It's a shame that game was not a Finals game. France had no business playing in the Finals.
Leading the league in rebounds AND ASSISTS, 5th in scoring, leading points generated by a country mile, AND NOT TOP 10 USG%. It is very hard to quantify that impact for someone not familiar with USG%, but that's production to a level never seen. Nobody has been that efficient with the ball ever, not even close. He is the offensive GOAT, and I don't say that lightly. Oh, hes also top 10 in stocks, and is #3 in deflections league wide for ANY POSITION. Only center in the top-20.
And one of my pet peeves was saying "Luka averaged xyz on the 5th seed, why Jokic get it?" Luka is first in USG this season, and was last season. Hes like lebron, pound the air out, drive and kick - heliocentric basketball with the ball in their hands, ALWAYS. Jokic always touches it, leads the league, but he gets rid of it QUICK. Exploits the defense as efficiently and quick as possible. Those guys have to survey, drive, prod, kick, Jok doesn't need any of that. Its just unreal.
@@SamuelBlackMetalRideras a rim protector yes, but his deflection says otherwise. He stops/slow down other teams from scoring by his deflections and those kick ball violations
@@ciaojay7025 That seemed sarcastic, maybe it wasn't. All defensive metrics paint him as good to great, he's top 10 in stocks so far, and (like every year) he's far and away the best center in the passing lanes and his hands. Being 3rd in deflections as a CENTER is unreal, and he does it every year.
Jokic is the best basketball player, top to bottom, I have ever seen in my 50+ years of watching basketball. He consistently does it all at an all-star level and makes everyone he plays with better. There is not another basketball player in the NBA who does everything Jokic does. There just isn't. The dude is a savant.
im only 32yo but i have him AT LEAST top3 all time, i dont care about accolades and rings culture because theres a lot of factors that are outside a player control that have a say in that, like front office decitions, teamates, state of the competition in the league, etc etc etc.. so, im talking about raw skill only, and the skill gap between your comtemporarys.. so, im curious about your opinion on this matter since you have seen so much more basketball in your life.
Fr if he never wins again we gotta talk about the Cavs with LeBron and the Nuggets with Jokic as maybe the two biggest wasted years of an all time legend.
OMG finally I see a channel again acknowledging what the hell Jokic is doing with his team severely “weak” and still does the impossible!!! As a die-hard fan of his, this nerd video is incredibly put together!!! Thank you!!!!! 🙏🏽
after all the 'super teams' that did trades and failed over the past decade, I think it's safe to say you need more than a team of all stars to get a ring
@@djsonnyblade with how Celtics build their squad it feels like 1-2 real all star players and bunch of compatible players will do the job. That Celtics is a super team with that depth
@@realone296The person you replied to did not say anything about AD being better than Jokic lmao. Jokic is clearly BITW but AD is still underrated and should be an obvious top 8 player at least
Great video. There are no words or accolades left for this young man. He has transcended basketball. He plays a game with which the other players are not familiar. Jokic does more with less than any player ever, and that includes even his own physical limitations. He just overcomes. And now, with the goatee, he has gone Dark Joker and the NBA should be terrified. I expect that some of his performances over this season will become legendary.
He was getting murdered on the last game as well, like if you look the highlights it's just absurd how strong some shots he has taken on arm or shoulders without a call.
With Jokic, some people are finding their own personal excuses for not liking what is developing before their eyes because they have a certain distorted image in their minds of what a great player is or what the game is. Actually, in searching for a flaw to explain their view and not finding any, they simply invent a reason (excuse) such as "His game is boring" or, more ridiculously, "He is not athletic." Or, "..has no game defense.". All of that is so far from reality.
After the Lakers got dominated by the nuggets in the Playoffs, Big Game James in the post game show on the laker channel said that Jokic is Magic and Kareem at the same time. No one is Worthier to make a more apt comparison...
If jokic wins three more chips he will retire in the goat conversation. If he wins four more, he will be the GOAT. His case is solid, he only needs more hardware at this point. The guy's unreal, incredibly fun to watch, the definition of a team player and work smarter, not harder.
LOve him, my favorite current player. But while what you claim may be true re: what gets him into the GOAT conversation, that is only irrational opinion. No amount of rings, whether zero or a dozen + should *ever* determine who is the GOAT: or even how good anyone is! This is a commonly held idiocy. 🙄 Jordan LeBron Chamberlain (who was much better than Russell despite 9 him having many more rings), nobody can win absent enough support. We can scien-terrifically measure how good everyone is, isolating it from team performances. Including in "clutch" stats. So it never was logical or fair to rule on how good *anyone* is based upon team strength.
He's not going to get a chance to win another in Denver. Awful GM and they're going to waste his prime years. He would have to jump to a team that is serious about winning.
Lebron was great, but Jokic is still another level. I think Jokic is in discussion with MJ for the best player. Ignore that hall of fame list, it is counted by how many rings they won, but it does not reflect how good players actually were.
I fucking hate that this is the case, but Jamal has been EASILY the worst guy ever to make 40 million a year or more so far. Im so sick of him coming into each and every season out of shape, but this year is different. Usually, he just looks out of it. So far, he's looking like a guy in their 18th season on a tanking team
@@kingk6060 To be fair, in that game, the refs called like a quarter of the fouls actually committed on both centers. Yes, there should've been mre fouls called, but at least it was more or less even. There were some very blatant miss calls, tho, shit was hilarious, the refs just tossed their whistles
Not a massive fan of advanced stats but his on/off metrics are insane, no one has ever had this amount of impact on a team singlehandedly in history. Small sample size but still
I do think he has a case for the best offensive player ever but it's hard for me to say best when MJ and LeBron are in a similar tier offensively while being more impactful defenders
@@donsnow8039 on offense I think only LeBron is in the same tier as Jokic so I can give LeBron an edge overall, but I think he is better than Jordan on offense by a good enough margin to be better overall than him. Jokic is good on defense. Not every type of defense ofc but on some he is GREAT not just good
The craziest thing about him is the fact that he make 25 and 10 Aassists every game But also make every player around him much better, No wonder his PER rating is above everyone ever He can make 40+ when the teams shooting is weak Or make 10 and give 20 assists when it’s the opposite He knows exactly what his team needs and isn’t selfish to set himself back to let the team shine Offensive wise this guy is the complete package, sadly he isn’t in a not so great market With the team now the ring is impossible, only hope is that Murray come back to his 25 ppg prime
We are witnessing oneof greatest player ever played! Dude is record breaker on daily basis... Incredible consistency, and amazing defense improved in last 2 seasons make him beast on both sides, defense isn't only flashy blocks ..
He is statistcally the most efficient volume scorer OAT. Ppl never talk about it but he creates all of his shots by himself and it results in the most Points per shot by any volume scorer IN THE HISTORY of the game. His passing isnt his only exceptional atribute, his ALL TIME great scoring really only enables his also incredible passing
Jokic is not only the best player on the Planet, he unlocks the potential in his teammates. He is a true leader and already a Legend for what he did so far.
I have to make an argument yes Murray is the #2 face of the nuggets. But, so far this season he is not the 2nd best player on the team. It's christian Braun, and it's not close so far
I have been saying for the past two years that the Nuggets without Joker is not even a playoff team. Jamal Murray, Michael Porter and Aaron Gordon benefit greatly from Joker's presence and playmaking, and he makes them look better than they are.
The Nuggets are wasting Joker's prime. If he maintains this level of play for a few more years, he is going to have to be put in GOAT conversations even if he doesn't get a super high ring count by the end of his career.
He is NOT HUMAN... it's as simple as that Wilt Kareem Shaq & Lebron all rolled up in one😅...AND not to mention being grossly underated as a defender not a shot blocker but he doesn't give much ground around the basket...like I said NOT HUMAN!🔥😱😱💯💯
If dudes name was Pat McSomething and plays for Celtics, conversation on national media will be "MJ was better on defense than Pat.... Pat has more rings than MJ but he had more help... blah blah blah". I'm 47 years old and during my lifetime 12 best players were MJ, Kobe, Duncan, Bron, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Hakeem, Shaq, Steph, KD and Joker, in no particular order, except MJ is a GOAT, but I like the way Pat McSomething is playing better.
Whats actually insane is that this video about jokic is like reading a movie script. The only difference is its real life and we are alive to witness it 🙌🏾
That first clip was after a loss where he takes the blame saying I should have played better. No excuses, takes the blame for not being better, only cares about winning. That's called a leader.

after all the 'super teams' that did trades and failed over the past decade, I think it's safe to say you need more than a team of all stars to get a ring
@@djsonnyblade with how Celtics build their squad it feels like 1-2 real all star players and bunch of compatible players will do the job. That Celtics is a super team with that depth
Can’t include MPJ in your second comment. Dude is lights out.
Jokic going god mode!!
The on and off numbers are especially mind blowing.
My GOAT 🃏
damn right
People will say jokic is bad at defense and say AD is better everyone will find a way to hate jokic
They are both great and they both get far too much hate.
I wish people could like more than one player or one team.
@@bjensenLol...Jokic is CLEARLY better than AD...also beat him in the playoffs TWICE in a row...
@@realone296You're arguing with yourself cause they never said the contrary. Just that both are great players, which is true
@@realone296The person you replied to did not say anything about AD being better than Jokic lmao. Jokic is clearly BITW but AD is still underrated and should be an obvious top 8 player at least
NBArtv has a video just out on his defense you might like: th-cam.com/video/flarfDOwxa0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PtqKxKz1w8qLKqS-
Great video. There are no words or accolades left for this young man. He has transcended basketball. He plays a game with which the other players are not familiar. Jokic does more with less than any player ever, and that includes even his own physical limitations. He just overcomes. And now, with the goatee, he has gone Dark Joker and the NBA should be terrified. I expect that some of his performances over this season will become legendary.
I didn't realize how much I missed your videos over the off season. Jokic is unbelievable. Great video.
Great video!
Jokic makes basketball beautiful to watch. He is unstoppable.
One of the best videos about Jokic
He was getting murdered on the last game as well, like if you look the highlights it's just absurd how strong some shots he has taken on arm or shoulders without a call.
With Jokic, some people are finding their own personal excuses for not liking what is developing before their eyes because they have a certain distorted image in their minds of what a great player is or what the game is.
Actually, in searching for a flaw to explain their view and not finding any, they simply invent a reason (excuse) such as "His game is boring" or, more ridiculously, "He is not athletic." Or, "..has no game defense.". All of that is so far from reality.
@12:45 -- Wilt did actually lead the league in Total Rebounds and Total Assists in 67-68 season
Was gonna say that too
Nikola Jokić - Nikola Tesla!!Two of the Greatest!
I Đoković
After the Lakers got dominated by the nuggets in the Playoffs, Big Game James in the post game show on the laker channel said that Jokic is Magic and Kareem at the same time. No one is Worthier to make a more apt comparison...
Joker just came off another 30pt triple double against the heat. this man is inevitable
if only I could be 1% as awesome as he is
Another day at office for 42 pick.
I still think it's crazy he was picked so late in the draft.
NBA MVP ladder released today: 1) AD, 2) Tatum, 3) Jokić. What a joke
No way they are giving Jokic another MVP. It doesn't matter what he does.
@@gametime2473 I agree - and it’s complete BS
I mean both guys also have a really strong case, however yeah I will agree. Jokic should still be number one.
LOL
Clowns
I have been watching NBA for 30 years and I can assure he is one of the 10 best ever
He's already the most fascinating player of all time, in my opinion. He's genuinely mind-boggling.
the man who nearly who beat a team of lebron, curry, and kd
LeBum isn't all that hard to beat
A 20yo Wemby did the same thing
@@Anthonydu01630wemby had corrupt french referees
@@Anthonydu01630Germany > baguette 🐕
hes the next person after bron to genuinely have a chance to be the GOAT
Lmao Jokic isn’t going near LeBron or kareem he’s closer to curry and Hakeem.
sadly hes white and European so he has no chance of being goat no matter how good he is
@@hyper2370 that’s not the reason he isn’t goat
@@dewman7477 I agree. He has to be a Laker for US people to recognize what is obvious to anyone with two functioning brain cells.
Wemby.
If jokic wins three more chips he will retire in the goat conversation. If he wins four more, he will be the GOAT. His case is solid, he only needs more hardware at this point. The guy's unreal, incredibly fun to watch, the definition of a team player and work smarter, not harder.
He has yet to play with an all star. How many greats won more than one chip without an all star?
LOve him, my favorite current player. But while what you claim may be true re: what gets him into the GOAT conversation, that is only irrational opinion. No amount of rings, whether zero or a dozen + should *ever* determine who is the GOAT: or even how good anyone is!
This is a commonly held idiocy. 🙄
Jordan LeBron Chamberlain (who was much better than Russell despite 9 him having many more rings), nobody can win absent enough support.
We can scien-terrifically measure how good everyone is, isolating it from team performances.
Including in "clutch" stats.
So it never was logical or fair to rule on how good *anyone* is based upon team strength.
He's not going to get a chance to win another in Denver. Awful GM and they're going to waste his prime years. He would have to jump to a team that is serious about winning.
Jokic is everything Lebron wants you to believe he ever was.
Lebron was Jokic with Bam defense in his prime stop, we saw what happened the last time Lebron was in his prime in 2020
I love Jokic but y’all have short memory
And Lebron lives rent free in your mind
hahahahahahaahahahahhahahhah
Lebron was great, but Jokic is still another level. I think Jokic is in discussion with MJ for the best player. Ignore that hall of fame list, it is counted by how many rings they won, but it does not reflect how good players actually were.
i like that he isnt selfish and wants too be best he can be
The funniest thing is how the best defenses and defenders just don't seem to matter to him.
I fucking hate that this is the case, but Jamal has been EASILY the worst guy ever to make 40 million a year or more so far. Im so sick of him coming into each and every season out of shape, but this year is different. Usually, he just looks out of it. So far, he's looking like a guy in their 18th season on a tanking team
Great points! Jokic is still underrated.
and on top of a legendary, record-breaking, CONSISTENT performance he's also humble af
And bro had a 30 point triple double tonight on only 13 shots
Chet is one of the best rim protectors and yet they had to double and triple team Jokic on every possession. Let that sink in
Let what sink in? That rim protection and post defense are two completely different skills with little or no correlation?
I felt like Chet was constantly fouling Joker, like usually three fouls on every possession. He was not able to keep up at all
And don‘t get me wrong, I like Chet as a player, but he‘d be out after 12mins of playing time if the refs were to be strict
@@kingk6060 To be fair, in that game, the refs called like a quarter of the fouls actually committed on both centers. Yes, there should've been mre fouls called, but at least it was more or less even. There were some very blatant miss calls, tho, shit was hilarious, the refs just tossed their whistles
Not a massive fan of advanced stats but his on/off metrics are insane, no one has ever had this amount of impact on a team singlehandedly in history. Small sample size but still
Just looking at skill and what a player can do on the court (no legacy, titles and all that) Jokic is the best player ever. End of argument
He’s not even top 10 bruh
@@MathewDavis-c5q people who know ball will disagree with you
I do think he has a case for the best offensive player ever but it's hard for me to say best when MJ and LeBron are in a similar tier offensively while being more impactful defenders
There’s a thing called defence which is half the game. He’s not even top 10 of all time greats on defence.
@@donsnow8039 on offense I think only LeBron is in the same tier as Jokic so I can give LeBron an edge overall, but I think he is better than Jordan on offense by a good enough margin to be better overall than him. Jokic is good on defense. Not every type of defense ofc but on some he is GREAT not just good
The craziest thing about him is the fact that he make 25 and 10 Aassists every game
But also make every player around him much better,
No wonder his PER rating is above everyone ever
He can make 40+ when the teams shooting is weak
Or make 10 and give 20 assists when it’s the opposite
He knows exactly what his team needs and isn’t selfish to set himself back to let the team shine
Offensive wise this guy is the complete package, sadly he isn’t in a not so great market
With the team now the ring is impossible, only hope is that Murray come back to his 25 ppg prime
Jokic makes very few mistakes. He seldom gives the ball away. Hi passes are extremely accurate and inventive. He has amazing arms.
You gotta admire a pivot man who also distributes the ball like a point guard.
he's still getting better
We are witnessing oneof greatest player ever played! Dude is record breaker on daily basis... Incredible consistency, and amazing defense improved in last 2 seasons make him beast on both sides, defense isn't only flashy blocks ..
Jokic make the basketball looks like easy. a true leader and play making.
He is statistcally the most efficient volume scorer OAT. Ppl never talk about it but he creates all of his shots by himself and it results in the most Points per shot by any volume scorer IN THE HISTORY of the game. His passing isnt his only exceptional atribute, his ALL TIME great scoring really only enables his also incredible passing
People need to put some respect on Jokic's name; bro is unstoppable on the court
i have to wonder if jokic received the lebron treatment, with around 10 more FT per game, how dumb would he look in stats
Well given his ft % and subtracting a bit bc maybe it goes down with more fts i think 33-35 a game is pretty conservative lol
Jokic is not only the best player on the Planet, he unlocks the potential in his teammates. He is a true leader and already a Legend for what he did so far.
CARSON ON TH-cam!! I LOVE YOU IM SO GLAD THEY RECCOMENDED THIS CHANNEL
His numbers are mind boggling, I hope Murray gets his shit together and they make some moves to shore up their bench
Murray is a bum unfortunately
The Joker is so fun to watch. Makes it look so easy. He's on a whole other level. Best player in the world IMO.
I have to make an argument yes Murray is the #2 face of the nuggets. But, so far this season he is not the 2nd best player on the team. It's christian Braun, and it's not close so far
AG has balled out. They're two and three though. Murray might be 6 so far.
Thank god for Braun. I’ll be hammering that sh*t. He has been as consistent as Jokic
Top 5 all time
And he just put up another monster stat line against the heat. Jokic is just a 1 man army, out and out the best player of the decade so far
As a Kobe Lakers era guy... really happy to see Jokic showing what skills and IQ can do in the league.
I can't imagine he'll keep this up all season just because of the wear and tear that comes with hard carrying a team.
I'd love to see Jokic and Luka play together.
Jokic and Caitlin on a one off game with men and women. Would be a fun exhibition. Picking the teams would be awesome.
I have been saying for the past two years that the Nuggets without Joker is not even a playoff team. Jamal Murray, Michael Porter and Aaron Gordon benefit greatly from Joker's presence and playmaking, and he makes them look better than they are.
@nerdsesh pls make more of these jokic videos
Good job Nerd sesh, this was an amazing video! 🎉
I cant understand that level of disrespect by refs against Jokic.
So many non called fouls on him is sad...
Great video Carson love your stuff!!
Like him or not he's the best player in the world and has been for the last 4 years
Your content is proof that your thumbnail title wasn't just click bait. That's rare. Great video!
The Nuggets are wasting Joker's prime. If he maintains this level of play for a few more years, he is going to have to be put in GOAT conversations even if he doesn't get a super high ring count by the end of his career.
Him on okc is 3 peat ez
Russell has played extremely well; he’s literally the other driving force with Jokic
Look at stats dude hes trash on offense
That was awesome!!!
0:46 nice shoot 😂
😂😂😂
It’s a dream catcher 😂😂 just a net aiming😂😂😂
We all know Jokic went back-to-back-to-back just like the Last Don.
Great video. Thank you! ❤
6:58 I knew that the ORTG and +/- is insane but that is IN-FUCKING-SANE
He is NOT HUMAN... it's as simple as that Wilt Kareem Shaq & Lebron all rolled up in one😅...AND not to mention being grossly underated as a defender not a shot blocker but he doesn't give much ground around the basket...like I said NOT HUMAN!🔥😱😱💯💯
Jokic is a 6′11″ Tetsuya Kuroko 🥶
with infinitely more strength, stamina and playmaking capabilities, bro always in the zone
Should win mvp till he retires, the gap between him and the second best player in the league is massive.
If dudes name was Pat McSomething and plays for Celtics, conversation on national media will be "MJ was better on defense than Pat.... Pat has more rings than MJ but he had more help... blah blah blah". I'm 47 years old and during my lifetime 12 best players were MJ, Kobe, Duncan, Bron, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Hakeem, Shaq, Steph, KD and Joker, in no particular order, except MJ is a GOAT, but I like the way Pat McSomething is playing better.
Whats actually insane is that this video about jokic is like reading a movie script. The only difference is its real life and we are alive to witness it 🙌🏾
Wow 5th Triple D in 9 games so far and so close on two other games AMAZING
Great script. Great thumbnail et most important great video .thank you
This season Joker on offense plays like Curry and Lebron combined into a player. Insane.
Best offensive peak the NBA has ever seen
